The Librarian,

British Council Library,

Lahore.

Dear Sir,

Kindly send me your rules and regulations as I am desirous of becoming a member of your library.

Yours faithfully.

Dear Mr,

The British Council Library operates in Lahore, with a minimum of rules. All new members are sincerely welcome, the main consideration is that the few rules and regulations that are enforced or relaxed from time to time work for the benefit of the total borrowing membership of the library.

1. You are required to furnish your name, surname and complete address, and telephone nember, if any, you will have to furnish local reference.
2. We charge no admission fees, but you will have to pay Rs.100/- as annual subscription which falls due on April 1 every year. No refund is made in case the member decides to close his membership before the expiry of the period for which subscription has once been paid.
3. We issue a borrower’s card which will entitle you to borrow one book at a time for a period of 15 days.
4. One renewal ton upon request subject for a period of 7 days is possible, and after expiry of this period, no further renewal are allowed.
5. Borrowers are responsible for the materials checked out to them and for their safe return. Lost or damaged books would have to be paid for in accordance with the market rate of the book, or if the book is available in the market, at a rate to be determined by the Board of Directors of the Library. In that case borrowing priviledges will be suspended until the Library is reimbursed.
6. Reference books magazines and some art books are no loaned out by library. The Librarian on duty will have the final word as to which book on material can be loaned for home use.
7. The Library reserves the right to suspend the borrowing privileges of any member who shows lack of sense of responsibility in dealing with the property of the Library.

Yours faithfully.

The Headmaster, Dear sir,

My son, Khalid Ali, is returning to school today after nearly a fornight’s absence. A few days ago he was vaccinated and soon developed a very painful arm. In the circumstances, the only advisable thing was to keep his indoors. In the meantime he developed some fever also. He is much better new. Though I am afraid he might have missed much on account of his absence, yet I believe he will do what he can to make up for the lost time.

Yours faithfully.

The Headmaster,

Dear Sir,

Would you kindly excuse M.A.Khan, Class VII, for not doing the home work that he should done last night? Unfortunately my son came home in the evening with a severe headache and I thought if necessary for him to go to bed. Thus, he was unable to do his home work.

Yours faithfully.

Dear Sirs,

I have to complain against late delivery of your ape to me in the morning. The hawker concerned always regrets his inability to be in time, they says that sale procedure is cumbersome at the office counter stage and therefore the Management itself is to blame. Will you, please look into it? Failing to get a satisfactory reply, I am afraid, I will have to switch over to some other Daily.

Yours faithfully.
